With kids
The campground is clean and the owners are super friendly and helpful. There is a lot for kids to do and my grandkids really enjoyed being there. We were there over a weekend so it was full and hopping. Our neighbors played cornhole until 1:30 am so that was unfortunate. The laundry facilities were not great. Several of the machines didn’t work and the dryer that did work took more than one cycle (we later discovered that you had to put it on delicates to get heat 😂). The friendliness of the staff made up for any disappointments and I would definitely stay there again. Also call and check to make sure they have your reservation if you use Hipcamp. Their systems don’t cooperate too well. We weren’t in the system at all so they had to put us in. They honored what Hipcamp promised. We originally thought we would be a late arrival and if that had been the case, we wouldn’t have had our paperwork in the late arrival box. I don’t know what we would have done then

I was happy to get a spot last minute. My stay was short, I was just passing through and needed to rest. I did meet Carressa, she was very nice. And had a slow peaceful morning.

Site was great, locating was simple and we had a lovely view of the river. Jim was attentive and quick to bring us more firewood when needed. Amenities were accessible and clean, a little less light at night would be nice but you know it's around apts going in so that's on you hah. Would go back!

Pretty cool and surprisingly quiet spot for being so close to houses. The view under the old water tower and out to the river is nice. Was super easy to do a late booking and check in. The owner was very nice and responsive to my messages.
Shower was hot and clean. No frills/soap. Toilet bowl was pretty gross, but everything else wasn’t bad. As far as camp site at this price with a shower, top tier!
